Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless, skinless For juicy, quick cooking.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce, low-sodium For a healthier option.
  • 2 tablespoons honey For sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar Adds tanginess.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced For flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated For zest.
For Garnish
  • sesame seeds For garnish.
  • green onions, sliced For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a bowl, pour the marinade over, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
Cooking
  1. Set your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place the thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Cook for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. While the chicken cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Brush this glaze over the chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  6. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serving
  1. Garnish the chicken with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Customize the sauce with chili flakes for heat or orange juice for a citrus twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
